The Free Britney movement may be about to get their wish.

Jamie Spears, Britney’s father has filed a document with the court asking that Britney be released from her long conservatorship. Prior to filing it with the court, he sent it to the press.

In his second response to the effort to have him removed, Jamie Spears finally agreed.

 "Recent events related to this conservatorship have called into question whether circumstances have changed to such an extent that grounds for the establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist," the statement reads.

 "Ms. Spears has told this Court that she wants control of her life back without the safety rails of a conservatorship. She wants to be able to make decisions regarding her own medical care, deciding when, where, and how often to get therapy. She wants to control the money she has made from her career and spend it without supervision or oversight. She wants to be able to get married and have a baby if she so chooses. In short, she wants to live her life as she chooses without the constraints of a conservator or court proceeding."

The filing read, "As Mr. Spears has said, again and again, all he wants is what is best for his daughter. If Ms. Spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr. Spears believes that she should get that chance."

UPDATE: In the documents filed Spears says that he wants to eliminate the conservatorship, but he will remain on as conservator to finalize the accounting. In other words, rather than stepping down, he is hanging on to finalize the accounting. He is still going to be involved in Britney's finances.

The conservatorship

After a public breakdown in 2008, Britney Spears was put in a conservatorship. For 13 years Jamie has been in charge of her money. He was also in charge of the megastar's career and to a large extent her day-to-day activities. 

During these 13 years, she has performed on world tours and at a Las Vegas residency. She was also a regular on a TV show. She has made tens of millions of dollars. And has had no access to her money.  

In 2019,  Jamie Spears had a physical altercation with Britney's 14-year-old grandson, Jayden. Britney has refused to perform since that time. And Jamie was forced to step down, as conservator of Bitney’s person. The role was given to Jodi Montgomery. But he still remains in total control of her finances and is receiving a huge salary.

The now 39-year-old singer has been publicly fighting for her freedom since 2020. And she has been trying to get out of the conservatorship for many years. But she was not allowed by the court to hire a lawyer to help her, until recently.
